A Look At Chernobyl – The Worlds Worst Nuclear Accident

The Chernobyl plant blew up at 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, spewing out a radioactive cloud and contaminating much of Europe. An estimated 15,000 to 30,000 people have died in the aftermath. More than 2.5 million Ukranians suffer from health problems related to the Chernobyl blast, with 80,000 of them receiving a pension.
